Holding and shipping insert



July 12, 1927. v G. & MURPHY nowme AND SHIPPING INSERT Filed Sept. 15.1926 nis referred toby the reference numeral 36 and this portion is bentupfandcovers the bottom end of the cover sections 32 after thecontainers 16 and 26 have been inserted and mounted upon the shippinginsert or blank A. 1 I

. The outer or side edges of the cover sections 32. are adapted to restsubstantially flush against the bottom 10 while the center portionthereof is slightly bowed outwardly or spaced apart as clearlyillustrated in Figures 3 and 6.

The portion 28 when bent upon the line 18 is inclined as clearlyillustrated in Figures 4 and 5 of the drawings and-serves to hold thetube 26 in position.

h There is quite an advantage in having the outer edges of theshipping'ins'ert substantially. against each other. The insert sheetisadapted to be placed in an envelope and the-narrow or flush edges ofthe shipping insert will provide a package which is neat and which isnot bulky at the ends.

The portion 36 holds the cover sections 32 in proper position and tendsto give to the package the narrow ends and bowed center h cl lyillustrated in Figure 6 of-the drawings."

'My insert'has proven very practical in connection with sampling ofcosmetics where two different *kindsof cosmetlcs may be placed in flatcontainers and a third cosmetic placed in the tube. The tube 26 isarfranged to be placed in position between the two containers 16and-itof course, is wider than the containers and tends to help form a packagewhich is very-narrow at its'side' 'edges and larger at its center.

The sheet A is preferably formed of a semi-stiff cardboard and after thecontainers are assembled thereon then it may be placed in an envelopewith other mailing data and sent through the mails without any danger ofthe envelope becoming torn or demolished due to the containers 16 and 26which are metal.

Some changes may be made in the arrangement and construction of thevarious parts of my device, without departing from the essentialfeatures andpurposes of my invention, and it is my intention, to coverby my claims any modified forms of structure or use of mechanicalequivalents, which may be reasonably included within their scope.

I claim as my invention: 7 1. A holder and shipping insert compr1sing asubstantially rectangular sheet forming a bottom section, having at oneedge a flap connected with it by a weakened-line and having one edge ofa triangular top member connected therewith at its opposite edge, a pairof cover sections connected with the other edges of the top member alongweakenedlines, said cover sections having diverging adjacent edges;

A holder and shipping insert comprising a substantially rectangularsheet forming a bottom section, having at one edge a 'flap'connectedwith it by a weakened'line and having oneqedge of a triangular topmember connected therewith at its opposite edge,a pair of cover sectionsconnected with the other edges of the top member along weakened lines,said coversections having diverging adjacent edges, the width of thecover sections being such that when they are folded over against thebottom section and the flap is folded over, then the top member is heldin position inclined at an acute angle to the bottom member. I 1

8. A holder and shipping insert comprising a flat bottom member, atriangular top member having one side connected with one edge of saidbottom member along a weakened line, said top member being inclined awayfrom the bottom member at an acute angle, a pair of'cover sectionsconnected with the other sides of the top member along weakened linesand inclined from the top member toward the opposite edge of the bottommember and a flap connected along weakened. lines With the bottom memberat the edge thereof opposite the top member and overlying said coversect-ions. 9

4. A holder and shipping insert comprismember-having-one side connectedwith one edge of SfllCl bottom member along a weakened line, said topmember being inclined away from the bottonrmember at an' acute angle, apair of cover sections connected with the other sides of the top memberalong weakened lines and inclinedfrom the top member toward the oppositeedge of the bottom member and -a flap connected along "weakenedlineswith the bottom member at the edge thereof opposite the top member andoverlying sald cover sections, said top member having a central opening.

A holder andshippinginsert comprising a flat bottom member, a triangular top member havingone side connected with one edge of said bottom member along a weakenedline, said top member being inclined away from the bottom member at anacute angle, a pair of cover sections connected with the other sides ofthe top member along weakened lines and inclined from the top membertoward the opposite edge of the bottom member and a flap connected alongweakened lines with the bottom member at the edge thereof opposite thetop member and overlying said cover sections, said top member having acentral opening, said bottom member being provided with openings spacedon the opposite sides of said first opening.

6. A holder and shipping insert comprising a substantially fiat bottommember, a triangular top member inclined at an acute angle from thebottom member, cover sections inclined from two sides of the top membertoward the endsand opposite edge 35 respectively of the bottom member,said parts being connected together along Weakened lines. i

7. A holder and shipping insert comprising a substantially flat bottommember, a triangular top member inclined at an acute angle from thebottom member, cover sections inclined from two sides of the top membertoward the ends and opposite edge respectively of the bottom member,said parts being connected together along Weakened lines and a flap onsaid bottom member overlying the edges of said cover sections oppositethe top.
